As part of servicing and repairing rear brake pads on all vehicles begin by checking the brake master cylinder filler cap then the brake fluid level in the reservoir before removing fluid to reach half capacity. The following procedure should be used to inspect brake pads for wear or contamination before new pads are installed after removing wheel and tire assembly. The service of forward-of-axle
Brake Calipers starts with removing nuts and stone shields followed by caliper pin bolt removal. The rear disc brake caliper should never remain suspended by the brake hose therefore establish adequate support during its dismantling process. The following step requires moving the brake pads and rail clips before measuring the rear
Brake Disc thickness. The technician should install a new rear brake disc when the measurement result does not match specifications. The disc brake caliper deserves an inspection for any fluid leaks which will require disassembly of the components. The completion of installation involves following removal steps backward while taking care to shield the
Piston and boots before forcing the caliper piston into position by making sure the pistons reach their designated spot at the bottom of the bores.
